The Wheelhouse Bar & Grill in Renfrewshire

The restaurant was very nice so we had quite high hopes, the food is definitely not worth the money though and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. We ordered a chateaubriand steak £80 from the menu to share between the two of us, we asked for it medium rare, when the steak arrived it was almost well done there was the slightest bit of pink on it. We told the staff that we weren’t happy as it was chewy and not cooked the way we asked for it. We didn’t want to spend £80 on a steak that didn’t even get cooked the way we asked! The waiter then said he was extremely sorry and that it’s going to sound silly but it is 100% the lighting in the restaurant that makes it look well done. ( it was in fact not the lighting as I shone my phone torch on it afterwards) anyways we did not get asked if we wanted another steak made but he said he’s sorry and would we like anything else added on. We agreed that we would just get chips added on (£5.99) and expected it to be complementary as we weren’t happy at all with our food. We ended up having to eat the steak as we didn’t get offered a new steak in return and didn’t want to waste £80. The bill then came and we were charged for the extra chips that were offered to us by the waiter, when we spoke to him we explained the situation and said we aren’t happy paying for it as it was expected to be complementary as the steak was very bad he responded with “we do not do that type of thing in this restaurant”, you don’t want to please your customers in the restaurant? He said “well I offered yous a new steak but yous didn’t want that” he in fact did not offer us a new steak at any point. Staff are so unprofessional and he was very rude to us and made us both feel very uncomfortable. We did not end up getting any sort of refund from the restaurant at all and we are shocked at the attitude from this waiter in particular.

Delicious family meal at Coast Langan’s. Food was delicious, GF menu was extensive and service was first class. 100% recommend!

Had a beautiful lunch here (again). We had lasagne and the steak pie. Both were delicious. Only one dessert between two as we were so full. The service was excellent. It’s an amazing location and has such a lovely vibe. Highly recommend. Great for a special location.

Food and service very good but beware the cost of wine. 125ml of chenin blanc was £9.95 whereas I expected it to be similar to the other white wines at £5.95.

Having spent the day on Bute and nowhere nice to eat we headed home early, on route we tried phoning Coast no answer, we tried to book online with no luck, we stopped in and surprised that they could accommodate 8ppl. The restaurant was busy we had window table with nice view 8 different 3 course meals chosen and not one person disappointed not much more to say. We have dined in the Riverhouse & Duckbay with service and food in all three being comparable, they are all very clean, well presented and in nice locations. We will be booking again soon.

You know, a friend said years ago if you’re out for dinner you should be impressed and it should be something you can’t make at home. Certainly the case in Coast. Called and managed to get a last minute booking. Infact the staff managed to get the table ready before booked time. Went for king prawns for starter and Shetland mussels for main. Razor sharp service from Nick and his team. All in all a great evening, staff are all so friendly and easy to get a hold of when needed. Fast drinks service.

The picturesque setting of this restaurant is amazing, the staff are so helpful, friendly and attentive. The food is superb and being Coeliac their GF menu is second to none- outstanding food

First visit since it became Coast, nice but! Location is first class as was the service from staff. Our food arrived relatively quickly which was very good. However my burger was luke warm as if it had been sitting under kitchen lights waiting on our Chicken Fajita being prepared which was roasting hot. The quality of the dishes was very nice and tasty marred only by the luke warm burger. Staff did attend and asked how the food was, I advised the temperature of the burger was disappointing and they advised they would pass this on, I'm still waiting on the response? I'm a great believer in, if you work in a restaurant and ask how the food is and you get a negative response then deal with it or don't ask, so that was very disappointing.

Stunning place, with fantastic views over the Clyde. We had booked a table but it had not booked, however there was no problem getting a table. All tables have great views. Food was delicious. Staff very helpful. Have recommended this to some family who stay up in the area

Booked a meal here whilst staying at Gleddoch Golf Resort,absolutely lovely.From start to finish we were looked after,lovely ambience,amazing food,brilliant service,thouroughly enjoyable. Would definitely book again,thank you.

Food was ok but found it to be over priced for what it was. Didn’t really notice any atmosphere either way Service for most wasn’t to bad, took a while to take our drinks order then longer for the food order. when taking our order my wife was asked how she would like her steak cooked, she chose well done To which the person taking the order was very condescending about how the steak would be, preferring medium well. My wife knows what she likes and shouldn’t have to explain her choices to anyone, 4 times she said she wants her steak well done to which the server just wouldn’t accept what was requested, it would seem he knows better than a woman trying to explain how the steak was cooked etc, I found him condescending and with a chauvinistic air of arrogance while speaking to my wife, it was at the good graces of my wife stopping me in my tracks otherwise this could have turned out differently for this server that night. When I was asked I stated well done which was accepted without all the crap he put my wife through. When the meal arrived I found both steaks to have been half well done and half medium well. So either the server was ignoring our order or your cooks don’t know how to properly prepare a steak to order. At the end of it all we where presented with the bill which we promptly paid, then we put our coats on and started to head out the door to find a server saying they gave us the wrong bill which we then checked over and it was a completely different order. There was a difference which we paid just to get out of the place as this just added to an already disappointing experience due to quality of service and food. The night away we rarely get was ruined. Did I I say anything when on-site to be honest no I didn’t as I wanted the evening to be withought problems and me kicking off wasn’t on the cards. So no I won’t recommend and no I won’t be back Such a pity was a beautiful place to go, pity the food and service let it down. Now I was asked to write this review which came directly to the restaurant and oddly I’ve not heard a single thing from the place. This attitude sums up and confirms that this is a place taking advantage of people and not caring enough to send a simple email reply to even say sorry for the poor service we will do better. As I’ve heard nothing back I’ve decided to add this to trip advisor so that this review can be seen and not hidden away. Omg bad reviews better hide it so no one sees it and only post good reviews. For 2 of us starter, mains, a drink each and No pudding it was the worst over price £110 I’ve ever spent. Would have had a better experience at the Point for a small fraction of the price and service. To the management of the Coast, don’t hide away from these reviews, take it onboard and fix the problems then I’m sure people will be singing your praises, for me I’m singing the praises of a beefeater over this place, now that says a hell of a lot.

Had a lovely meal and evening in Coast. Staying at Gleddoch Spa for the evening but they couldn’t serve us until 9:30, we decided to book here for dinner instead & we are so glad we did! Food & service both lovely! We had 3 courses and finished the lot! Looking forward to going back again for their lunch menu!

We had a beautiful and very reasonably priced meal at this stunning restaurant. The staff were very friendly and extremely attentive. I would highly recommend the roast chicken breast and steak and sausage pie and the cookie dough desert is a must have! We will defiantly be returning.

We were escorted to our table at 8.15 .we ordered a drink and given the menu. The drink came and that was the last we saw anyone. At 8.55 we decided to go to the bar and pay for our drink and complain. We were told that they were busy and would take our order now.We said no.I emailed Cawley customer service and more or less told the same

First the good stuff. Staff very welcoming and well trained in customer service. Restaurant looks lovely , and wash rooms were clean. The staff were also very accommodating, in bringing out the birthday cake with candles lit. Now the not so good. Drink orders took ages to arrive. Drink prices shocking. Bottles of coke 200 ml £3.25, 330 ml £3.75, pint £3.85. We weren't offered pint size until the second round and would certainly have taken if had known was available. Pint of beer £6.50, just wow. Starters chicken tempura was a good portion size, although quite bland. The king prawn sizzler was more like soup. Not as described on menu and tasteless. Fish and chips was a good big bit of pure white fish and a nice crispy batter. Cajun chicken wraps were ok but nothing special. The big problems were the macaroni cheese and lasagna. Both had been pre prepared and dried out and stodgy. The lasagna was inedible and was removed from the bill when requested. So for 8 people taking 6 starters and 7 mains and drinks the bill was over £300. Had the food been very good then i would not be unhappy , however all in all the food was average at best. I've had better pub grub at less than half the price.

My wife and I had soup that could have been warmer We both had prime fillet steak mines was cold and rare to medium instead of medium to well So we both ate our 96.00 pounds meal at different times Not the service I expect at such a beautiful restaurant I told the server and the manager when asked did we enjoy our meal

Superb food in a beautiful restaurant. Staff and service were excellent. Attention to detail was outstanding. From management to the waiting on tables every detail was spot on. And the food was excellent in each meal. Totally faultless. I will be recommending this to all my friends. Whoever is responsible for the hiring they clearly know what they want to deliver such great food and well trained staff. Congratulations to all involved.

Very attractive venue with terrific views across the Clyde, staff very friendly. However, totally let down by the food which is totally bland. Such a shame. However, judging by the packed tables, it's not a view that is widely shared.

On arrival the door was opened for us and we were welcomed inside. The service was first class as was the food and restaurant itself. I had passed the restaurant a few times while working but made a special journey from Fife to dine here and we were not disappointed.

Can’t beat homemade lentil soup on a cold winter day 🥣Excellent food as always, lots of choice, great service, always busy so booking ahead advisable.

We had been given a voucher for coast last Xmas for quite a considerable amount of money, but due to my husband taking seriously ill & hospitalised for a good part of the year we were unable to go. However, when things improved we booked for Sun 3rd December, but on paying the bill we were told the voucher had expired on 2nd December & they would not honour it. To date I have sent 5 emails & they have not even had the courtesy to reply.......they have actually stolen that money from us. I an totally disgusted by the lack of empathy & will never set foot in there again & certainly never recommend this place to anyone 😕

Very tasty and well presented food, with attentive waiters (just enough - we didn't feel hassled or anything). We were there for Boxing day - it was a shame it wasn't still the festive menu, but we thoroughly enjoyed what we had and felt like we'd had a treat. The restaurant itself is lovely and has gorgeous views.

Lovely location with all windows looking out to the waterfront and Dumbarton Castle. Excellent service throughout, everyone very professional and friendly. Menu is a sensible size but hard to choose from so many attractive items - I went for the very tasty chicken salad, others had the steak pie and other staples, all very much enjoyed. All nicely lit up with fairy lights all around the restaurant, great atmosphere. Can only slightly fault the parking, pretty tight - get there early! Looking forward to the next visit.

Been going to Coast for years now Had a table booked for 5.45 we were 15 mins late and advised as we had to give the table up by 6.15 there wouldn’t be enough time to order and serve dinner in that time but we could have a table next to the bar which we took They had given our table away knowing they would keep the £20 deposit anyway from us no matter what Stay well clear and don’t make a booking and pay the £10 deposit per head they then have you over a barrel if you are late or if you need to cancel Food was average and overpriced and the service really poor not the great restaurant it once was

Was invited here by my children and grandchildren for festive celebration. Could not believe how poor the quality of the food and service. 20 minutes for a drinks order. 40 minutes for a starter and an hour and 20 minutes for the main course. The Turkey dinner reminded me of the worst of school dinners form the 70s. Definitely not child friendly! And don't bother complaining because the arrogance of the management and is unbelievable!

Been here many times but never put a review on. Title says it all, simply outstanding. A real family atmosphere, food mouth watering but most of all 5 star service. All the staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. If...

2 of our party arrived early and our waiter just about paced by our table waiting for the third person to join us. There were no pleasantries, and he basically chided us because we all gave our order for food simultaneously. Then we didn't see...

Went there with my husband for lunch today. It was beautiful inside, especially due to the Christmas decor. Unfortunately the weather was rubbish, but the view over the water was still lovely. The food was delicious, but perhaps a little bit expensive? Online their set...

Lovely birthday meal this week. Worth every penny of our £200 bill for 3 people having 3 courses each plus drinks. Service was exemplary. Ambiance was wonderful, with the place decorated so beautifully for Christmas.

Had a great night with with friends celebrating my birthday. A lovely venue. Service was excellent and the food delicious. The staff were outstanding, special mention to Nick. Well done all.

Great seafood fresh local decent price Great choice of seafood available Lovely views great for lunch or dinner lovely dining experience staff were fab will definitely return

Took £10 deposit per head for 10 people but one of our group was unwell so we telephoned the day before to advise that we would only be 8----on arrival our table was only set for 8 but they STILL took the £10 per head...

Food was ok, portions were smaller than normal. Pricing:- all dishes were increased between 20% and 25%, wine was increased by 25%. Shocking considering that all portion sizes were reduced. Won’t be back.

Great food, fantastic location looking across the Clyde, and lovely staff. Highly recommend, and looking forward to a return visit already! -Book a table to avoid disappointment.

HORRENDOUS. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Honestly cannot stress enough how badly this restaurant is run. Went on my birthday for a family meal and had a tray of drinks spilled all over me and my family. Clothes ruined and had to go home to change....

do not give your card details to book We turned up on time Yet. They said later on that night. We hadn’t shown up took the £20 reservation fee. Unbelievable Trying to justify ourself to get out money back is a disgrace. be warned stay...

We had a reservation for Coast that we had to cancel last minute due to a death in our family requiring us to fly home earlier than expected. Coast was incredibly lacking in empathy and opted to take our reservation deposit despite the unforeseen circumstances....

We visit Coast regularly, the food is always fresh and tasty. The service is efficient delivered by friendly staff. We would recommend visiting.

We had a very special dinner party at Coast recently as part of the celebrations for my parents' Diamond Wedding. Whilst we are not regular visitors to Coast at Langbank, any time we do make the journey there it is well worth our trouble. This evening was no exception. We had a beautiful meal, seated in a comfortable and private booth facing the River Clyde, and the staff who served us were attentive and efficient. We had fillet steak cooked to perfection for each of us, and my parents had dessert - and of course, some very nice wine too. One detail I particularly appreciated was being served my non-alcoholic cranberry and soda as the driver in a martini glass - so I still felt like a grown up! At the end of our evening, along with our tea and coffee, our waiter brought us a plate with brownies and 'Happy Anniversary' written in chocolate, which as a lovely touch on which to end our evening. Top marks to the team at Coast - we had such a special evening.

A member of party collapsed, taken to a&e and was hospitalised an hour before our booking. We attempted to call restaurant several times to reschedule booking, but could not get an answer. When we finally contacted the restaurant, they charged us a £50 no show fee. When we contacted a manager to challenge this, she showed no compassion or understanding of our situation, and instead quoted company policy and proceeded to take the £50 from our party’s accounts.

My favourite restaurant by far. The scenery is great and the food is always amazing. Love the lasagne and the desserts are lovely too.

I’ve used this place for years but today as usual got my fajitas and was so disappointed. There was 3 bits of chicken and all veg. I asked for a spoon twice and both people didn’t know what a spoon was.. all new staff

Visited for lunch , fantastic choice on the a la carte with plenty fish & seafood choices , as well as chicken , beef and non-meat options. The desserts looked divine too . Lovely decor and view from the large windows, excellent service , lovely staff ( nothing was too much trouble ) From start to finish, a first class experience. Food was excellent, beautifully cooked and presented, generous portions too. Thankyou to Nicholas for arranging my requests perfectly . We will return very soon !

Na enkele keren gepasseerd te hebben, besloten we om er iets te gaan eten. Gelukkig maar! Lekker eten, vriendelijke bediening...

First time visiting The Coast Restaurant, staff very polite, place well maintained and food was excellent, would recommend visit we went when it was quieter than normal believe it does get busy maybe worth booking table.

After driving 2000km through the Highlands over 12 days, this was far out the best meal we had. Friendly service and excellent food for a decent price.

Manager was full of his own self importance and patronising to boot. Staff constantly interrupted our conversation in a loud and rude manner. We waited one hour and thirty five minutes for our main meals to come so service was poor. The place was busy...

We visited for the first time and was treated well from the minute we arrived. Excellent service, warm ambience and food was amazing. Thank you 🙏

Try the Salmon Haddock dish. Wife said it was the best meal she’s had in Scotland Staff are great!

We always make a point of eating at Coast when we're in Scotland. We've never been disappointed, neither in food nor in service, and we're very fussy and used to good standards.

We hadn’t been for a couple of years so thought we would try it again. Came away wishing we hadn’t and won’t be back. I ordered vegetable fajita expecting the vegetables to consist of stir fried peppers and onions. Instead I got big chunks of...

Took ages to be served especially between courses. My husband had the butter chicken which he says was as tough as old boots and tasted like a cheap box meal. Very disappointed.

Great service and great views comfortable place good choice and decent portions seafood plater is a must and the atmosphere was great too

Can’t fault food or service but £27 for 2 glasses of wine is disgraceful!! Very disappointed and the cheek to charge an extra £1 for soda
